How does the applicant respond to an Office Action?
The applicant has an opportunity to correct those points the USPTO considers to be basis for rejection/objection. Alternatively or additionally, the applicant can explain why they believe the examiner's assessment of the application is incorrect. The applicant's position is recorded and presented in a document called an Amendment or a Response. The applicant has three (3) months, extendable to six (6) months to file this document. The examiner sends out a Notice of Allowance if the applicant is successful in overcoming all objections and rejections.
